However, allowing the food to run out and not telling employees what was happening seems fishy to me, especially if the closure was caused by repairs needing to be made. Why note just let everybody know? The only real piece of information I got from the discussion Mr. WC had with the owner is that he's planning to make repairs and reopen. Whether that actually happens remains to be seen, but I'll continue to offer updates as I get them.WheatonCallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11549056196335967046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197116802223493433.post-37961206733818494772012-01-13T11:08:15.053-05:002012-01-13T11:08:15.053-05:00FYI - the locks were changed because the owner had...FYI - the locks were changed because the owner had not had a key in over a year.

You have doggedly stayed on this, and you should be thanked for that. The Royal Mile's history and its exceedingly loyal customer base would seem to require some honest answers. But how does one progress from running out of food, a staff that has been unpaid for weeks on end, and forcibly changed locks to using renovations as an excuse?<br /><br />Yes, the place needs work. It has for more than two years. But the long-suffering staff and the customers who truly love all of them are given no assurance or respect by the owner? The owner who hangs out at the pub next door, rather than face up to the hard realities of the restaurant business? You're right not to want to slander anyone here, but none of this makes sense.<br /><br />I find myself thinking of some of the older couples who have frequented the Royal Mile for so long, and wonder too how their loyalty will be recognized. There is just so much not to like here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
